Final update: I received my new and old passport in the mail today, after having sent it out on 12/3, so it took just over 2 weeks, and if not for the holidays it would've been under 2 weeks. The whole process was hassle free, but I will just say that everyone doing this should pay close attention to look for the option for the larger book, which is a small checkbox at the top of the 2nd page and is easy to miss. I actually was about to mail it when I realized I had missed it, so just be sure to look for it.

Just to update, this information was accurate, as I went when I had 44 days remaining and was approved without hassle. Although, I did not use the link here for booking, and given that the line was much shorter that in the past (I was in and out in under an hour), I think an appointment wasn't necessary.

Bangkok lak si. Do we know if they are agreeable to applying for the 30 day extension "early"?

Thanks all for the replies. So is there any issue with extending 30 days even though I'm just 13 days into my current 60 day stamp? I was never really sure on how soon we can go for the 30 day extension after arriving in Thailand.

I did a border run to Cambodia on the 11th and have a 60 day stamp, but I'm almost out of pages so I need to mail it in for renewal. My question is, how soon can I go to Immigration to get the 30 day extension after arriving, and will it have any adverse effect on the passport renewal process? I'm American, so I'm mailing to the American embassy, and have already completed all the forms and requirements, but I'm now considering getting a 30 day extension so as to give me maximum cushion for processing time, but I'm wondering if it could cause a problem either at immigration or in the passport renewal process? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
